Away Game 1

AHL Game: 35

Who: Charlotte Checkers

Where: Time Warner Cable Arena

When: 7 p.m. EST

Last Game: vs. Adirondack this past Tuesday, the Pens won 2-1. Tim Wallace had a power play goal. For Charlotte: They wrapped up their three game jaunt to the Atlantic Division Monday @ Portland, and lost 5-1. Jerome Samson had 12 shots in the loss.

Why you should care: The Checkers are last years Albany River Rats and Wilkes-Barre is coming into their arena for their home opener looking to spoil what is sure to be a packed, sold out house. The Pens will be  looking to ruin the party and show who is going to be the dominant team in the East Division this year.
